Explanation:

A.) equivalent resistance

Equivalent resistance ( Rt ) in a series connection is sum of all resistance.

Rt = 3300 + 4700 + 3900

= 11900 ohms

= 11.9 k ohm

B.) current is constant across the whole circuit if it is in series .

current = potential difference ÷ total resistance

current = 12 / 11900 = 0.00100 Amphere

= 0.1 mA

C. potential difference ( v ) across the circuit =

current( i ) × resistance ( Rt )

=》v = 0.1 × 0.001 × 11900 = 12 volts

A certain lightning bolt moves 10.0 C of charge. How many charges have been moved if the fundamental unit of charge is 1.6 x 10-

Andrej [43]

To solve this problem, use the ratio given by the total number of electrons or protons that exist as a function of the total charge, and inversely proportional to the value of the fundamental charge. The number of fundamental unit $|q_e|$ that constitutes a charge of 40.0C can be calculated as

$N = \frac{|Q|}{|q_e|}$

Here,

$q_e$ = Value of charge and it is the fundamental charge

Q = Total Charge

N = Total number of electron or protons

The number of fundamental units is calculated as follows

$N = \frac{10.0C}{1.6*10^{-19}C}$

$N = 6.25*10^{19}$

Therefore the number of fundamental charge units moved by lightning bolt is $6.25*10^{19}$

A wave on a string is described by y(x, t) = (3.0 cm) × cos[2π(x/(2.4 m + t/(0.20 s))], where x is in m and t in s.

Len [333]

Corrected and Formatted Question:

A wave on a string is described by y(x, t) = (3.0 cm) × cos[2π(x/(2.4 m) + t/(0.20 s))], where x is in m and t in s.

(a) In what direction is this wave traveling?

(b) What are the wave speed, frequency, and wavelength?

Answer:

The wave is travelling in the negative x direction

The wave speed = 12.0m/s

The frequency = 5Hz

The wavelength = 2.4m

The displacement at t = 0.50s and x = 0.20m is -0.029m

Explanation:

The general wave equation is given by;

y(x, t) = y cos (2 $\pi$ (x/λ) - 2 $\pi$ ft) --------------------------------(i)

Where;

y(x, t) is the displacement of the wave at position x and a given time t

y = amplitude of the wave

f = frequency of the wave

λ = wavelength of the wave

Given;

y(x, t) = (3.0 cm) × cos[2π(x/(2.4 m) + t/(0.20 s))] ------------------(ii)

Which can be re-written as;

y(x, t) = (3.0 cm) × cos[2π(x/(2.4 m)) + 2π(t/(0.20 s))] -------------(iii)

Comparing equations (i) and (iii) we have that;

=> 2π(x/(2.4 m) = 2π(x/λ)

=> λ = 2.4m

Therefore the wavelength of the wave is 2.4m

Also, still comparing the two equations;

=> 2π(t/(0.20 s) = 2πft

=> f = 1 / 0.20

=> f = 5Hz

Therefore the frequency of the wave is 5Hz

To get the wave speed (v), it is given by;

v = f x λ

Where f = 5Hz and λ = 2.4m

=> v = 5 x 2.4

=> v = 12.0m/s

Therefore, the speed of the wave is 12.0m/s

At t = 0.50s and x = 0.20m;

The displacement, y(x,t) of the string wave is given by

y(x, t) = (3.0 cm) × cos[2π(x/(2.4 m) + t/(0.20 s))]

Convert the amplitude of 3.0cm to m

=> 3.0cm = 0.03m

Substitute this back into the equation

=> y(x, t) = (0.03m) × cos[2π(x/(2.4 m) + t/(0.20 s))]

Substitute the values of t and x into the equation above;

=> y(x, t) = (0.03m) × cos[2π((0.20)/(2.4 m) + 0.50/(0.20 s))]

Carefully solve the equation

=> y(x, t) = (0.03m) × cos[2π((0.20)/(2.4 m)) + 2π(0.50/(0.20 s))]

=> y(x, t) = (0.03m) × cos[0.08π + 5π]

=> y(x, t) = (0.03m) × cos[5.08π]

=> y(x, t) = (0.03m) × cos[15.96]

=> y(x, t) = (0.03m) × -0.9684

=> y(x, t) = 0.029m

Therefore the displacement at those points is -0.029m

Also, the sign of the displacement shows that the direction of the wave is in the negative x direction.

which changes of state should she place in the column titled "lose energy"?freezing, boiling, and meltingmelting, vaporization,

Blababa [14]

Freezing (liquid to solid)
Deposition (gas to solid)
Condensation (gas to liquid)

All three of these state changes are a result of a energy loss. When considering energy loss it is best to think of situations where temperature has dropped. Less energy in the system results in less energy the substance is exposed to or has available.

Simplified. The absorption spectra of ions have been used to identify the presence of the elements in the atmospheres of the sun

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

The answer is " $3.83 \times 10^9 \ m$ "

Explanation:

Z=2, so the equation is $E= \frac{-4B}{n^2}$

Calculate the value for E when:

n=2 and n=9

The energy is the difference in transformation, name the energy delta E Deduct these two energies

In this transition, the wavelength of the photon emitted is:

$\Delta E=2.18 \times 10^{-18} ( \frac{1}{4}- \frac{1}{81})$

$\lambda = \frac{h c}{\Delta E}$

$h ( Planck's\ constant) = 6.62 \times 10^{(-34)} \ Js \\\\ speed \ of \ light = 3 \times 10^{8} \ \frac{m}{s}\\\\= \frac{6.62 \times 10^{(-34)} \times 3 \times 10^ {8}}{2.18 \times 10^{-18}} (\frac{1}{4}- \frac{1}{81}) \\\\=3.83 \times 10^9 \ m\\\\$
